特集論文 Japanese Business Institutions : An Illustration of the Douglas North Institutional Economics
No full textDepartmental Bulletin PaperI commemorate the retirement of Professor Odano by discussing the the shared experience of institutional economics and Japanese economic history that the author shared during doctoral training at the Department of Economics, University of Washington Seattle. Both the rinciples of institutional economics of Douglas North and the importance and interaction of a wide variety of Japanese economic institutions stressed by Professor Kozo Yamamura have influenced our thinking in so many rich ways. I illustrate the usefulness of these principles through a discussion of two Japanese postwar economic institutions, long term employment contracts and horizontal industrial groups. I show that the institutions drew on earlier Japanese experience, but were not culturally
determined. Rather they were a response to postwar economic conditions, and their usefulness was called into question as these conditions changed.彦根論叢, 第387号, pp. 38-49The Hikone Ronso, No.387, pp. 38-49departmental bulletin pape
Makerspace in der Stadtbibliothek Göttingen : Machbarkeitsstudie und Risikoanalyse
No full textBei dem Konzept Makerspace handelt es sich um ein niedrigschwelliges Angebot, das für alle Besucher Anreize, Ideen und Unterstützung bieten kann. Durch den Faktor des gemeinsamen Lernens werden soziale Grenzen überbrückt und neue Netzwerke gebildet, implizites Wissen wird ausgetauscht und Lernen neu erfahren. Der Makerspace bietet eine Bühne, um eigene Erfahrungen auszutauschen, Wissen an Interessierte weiterzugeben oder gemeinschaftlich an einem kreativen Projekt zu arbeiten. Als Ort des Lernens und der Information, aber auch als Treffpunkt bieten öffentliche Bibliotheken einen idealen Rahmen für ein entsprechendes Angebot. Das modulare Makerspace-Konzept ermöglicht ihnen, die Angebote ganz nach ihren Bedürfnissen und Ansprüchen auszurichten. Vorhandene Medienbestände können in die Makerspace-Aktivitäten eingebunden werden. Makerspaces sind vielversprechende Zukunftsmodelle kollektiver Erfahrungsräume und bieten Platz für eine inklusive Lernwerkstatt für die Gemeinschaft. Aufgrund der vorliegenden Analyse empfiehlt das Projektteam für die Stadtbibliothek Göttingen mit dem Koffermodul zu starten, um die Teilnehmer und Mitarbeiter nicht zu überfordern. Die räumlichen Gegebenheiten lassen aber in einem späteren Stadium auch die Module Schrank und Raum zu. Diese Erweiterungen sollten von der Nutzung und der Nachfrage abhängig gemacht werden
The Cyclical Representation of the UK Conference Sector's Life Cycle: The Use of Refurbishments as Rejuvenation Triggers
No full textThe Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model (Butler, 1980) is one of the most influential and frequently quoted tourism related lifecycle frameworks. Extensively applied and critiqued, it remains a cornerstone in tourism research. The model classifies the hypothetical temporal development of a destination into a series of stages, these being exploration, involvement, development, consolidation, stagnation and decline and/or rejuvenation, which when aggregated are represented diagrammatically as a S-shaped curve. This paper presents a theoretical extension of the TALC model, based on the decade in which UK conference venues initiated their conference product lifecycle, and the use of refurbishments as state changing triggers to rejuvenate the conference product lifecycle. This theoretical extension is applied to the four conference venue classifications that together constitute the UK conference sector, namely purpose-built venues, hotels, educational establishments and visitor attractions. Each of these venue types initiated its lifecycle at different times, with individual venues progressing through their lifecycle and either stagnating or rejuvenating through the use of refurbishment’s at differing times throughout the last 5 decades. Based on these findings, a linear model can be applied to the development of the UK conference sector. However, undertaking refurbishments, and thus the rejuvenation of the conference venues’ lifecycle, are occurring at differing times, and therefore this paper forwards the view that today a cyclical model is more appropriate to the UK conference sector
Learning through the language: A critical autoethnography of a Non-Native among two Indigenous language communities
No full textThis dissertation features a personal narrative of a Non-Native researcher learning two Indigenous languages, Ho-Chunk and Omaha, in northeast Nebraska. Presented in the three publishable pieces format, the first manuscript features an argument for expanding Critical Language and Race Theory (LangCrit) to encompass the unique circumstances that have contributed to the current context of Indigenous languages. After problematizing the three reified concepts of race, language and identity, the author argues that three key factors differentiate the experiences of Indigenous language communities: colonization, dual-citizenship status, and the perception of (dis)appearing languages. The second manuscript focused on the complexities of the research process. Provided the historical trends of dehumanizing research in Native American communities, the researcher illustrates the efforts she took to address the complexities of interactions that underlie research between Non-Native and Native communities. Drawing on the five tenants of Critical Indigenous Research Methodologies (Brayboy, Gough, Leonard, Roehl & Solyom, 2012), she discussed her experience with the research process as it revolved around three key themes: ongoing negotiations, getting it wrong, and adapting the research process. Within this work, the author attempts to provide a transparent lens into the research process by naming the privileges she has within this context and working towards transcending this power. The final manuscript featured in this dissertation was a critical autoethnography of the author’s own experience as a Non-Native researcher learning two Indigenous languages. Using LangCrit (Crump, 2014) as the theoretical lens, the author explored the complex intersections of her visible and audible identities in the context of colonization. Together, this dissertation yields social and educational implications. First, schools, teachers, and teacher education programs should consider language as a way to develop culturally sustaining pedagogical methods, particularly for those serving Indigenous youth. Second, by reframing our understanding of individuals’ unique idiolects (rather than bounded languages), we may be more likely to recognize, and appreciate, the translanguaging practices that occur within the classroom, the home, and the community. This paradigmatic shift has the potential to move beyond the terminal narrative of Indigenous language death and affirms the linguistic survivance occurring within Indigenous language communities
Native American History Instruction in an Urban Context: An Exploration of Policy, Practice, and Native American Experience
No full textabstract: This study examines the genesis, practice, and Native experiences of stakeholders with two Arizona kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) statute that mandate instruction of Native American history. The research questions relate to the original intent of the policies, implementation in urban school districts, how Native American parents experienced Native American history in their own education and their aspirations for this type of instruction in their children's education. Lomawaima and McCarty's (2006) safety zone theory was utilized to structure and analyze data. Critical Indigenous Research Methodologies (CIRM) (Brayboy, Gough, Leonard, Roehl, & Solym, 2012; Smith, 2012) was used in this interpretive policy analysis and phenomenological research study. Interviews were conducted with policymakers, a department of education official, urban school district personnel, and Native American parents with children in the pertinent school districts. Data included in-depth interview and legislative committee meeting transcripts, artifacts including bill versions, summaries and fact sheets, school board manuals, and the state social studies standards. The findings indicate that the intent of the statutes was to foster a better understanding among students (and hence, the state's citizenry) leading toward reciprocal government-to-government relationships between tribal nations and non-tribal governments. Teaching sovereignty and self-determination were fundamental. Although the school-based participants had limited knowledge of the policies, the district personnel believed they implemented the mandates because the state social studies standards were utilized to frame instruction. However, the 45 social studies standards related to Native Americans focus on extinct (referred to as historic in the standards) Native societies. The social studies standards ignore contemporary tribal nations and are thus inefficacious in supporting the goal of a better understanding of sovereignty, or in supporting Native American self-determination. The Native parent participants defied stereotypical images; they were involved in their children's educational attainment and were reintroducing cultural and tribal capital. Recommendations include allocating funds to support implementation of the policies at the local school and state levels, establishing culturally responsive curriculum that recognizes and promotes tribal nations and tribal sovereignty, and strengthening relationships between tribal nations, school districts, and the state department of education.Dissertation/ThesisEd.D.
